		Toronto Township (now principally Mississauga) should not be confused with the City of Toronto well to the East.
		By 1911 there were about 40- 50 families in the Township, with the major concentration being 13 families in the Southwest corner (the Clarkson/Sheridan/Erindale area) and the next largest 7-8 on Dundas Street just East of what is now Erindale, on the other side of the Indian Reservation straddling the Credit River (see Exhibit 3).
		Geographic accident left the Toronto Township Old Survey with land considerably less arable than the areas to the North, which probably accounts for their slower growth despite their earlier history—the first villages formally incorporated in Peel were Brampton and Streetsville, and Brampton was for years the capital of the region and its largest town.
